Before You Begin

To collect SP data using the Service Snapshot utility, you need the Admin (a) role enabled.

1. Log in to the ILOM CLI.
2. Type the following commands:

   ->set /SP/diag/snapshot dataset=data

   ->set /SP/diag/snapshot dump_uri=URI

   Where data and URI are one of the following:

   
   

   Value Option Header data normal Specifies that ILOM, operating system, and hardware information is collected. full Specifies that all data is collected (“full” collection). Note: Using this option might reset the running host. normal-logonly or full-logonly Specifies that only log files are to be collected. URI Any valid target directory location Specifies the URI of the target directory. The URI format is as follows: protocol://username:password@host/directory Where protocol can be one of these transfer methods: SFTP or FTP. For example, to store the snapshot information in the directory named data on the host, define the URI as follows: ftp://joe:mypasswd@host_ip_address/data The directory data is relative to the user's login, so the directory would probably be /home/joe/data.
